in the silvery days of silence they go

I found out last night elanurel passed, and my first thoughts were, "No, no. That can't be right. She was okay, she was fighting, they were trying a new protocol, she was going to kick ass and live forever."

And then morning came and every time I think of her, I've been fighting tears. I wasn't as close to her as others, but if you knew her at all, through communities, or her livejournal, you know how incredibly special, how supportive and kind Branni was to everyone she met.
